She needs to get over it. I saw the movie (Serenity, I think it was) thought it was good, didn't find it racist or misogynist. And even if it somehow is, it's probably unintentional.
Goodthing she never played Mass effect!

I would say it's more like; "A 'true' feminist has to be like a male chauvinist. You can't be a 'true' feminist unless you believe that all men are awful and have no redeeming qualities."L-J-F said:
P.S. I think the same thing is true with regards to 'macho' (a.k.a. closet chauvinist) men. When I was working out one time, I was lifting light weights for numerous reps. A guy came by and, assuming that I wanted to look like one of those big, bulky, masculine guys you see in boxing rings and fitness mags, suggested that I should be lifting heavier weights at fewer reps. Otherwise I'd wind up looking like a woman.
"Oh noez! Not like a WUMENZ!!!!1!!1!ONE!"
I explained to him that I was lifting lighter weights because I hadn't worked out in a while and didn't want to injure myself, but I found it pretty damn offensive that he insinuated that a man being athletic in the same way that a woman is athletic is a bad thing.
This happens to men as much as it happens to women. Maybe even more so, because (in America, at least) I'm pretty sure it happens to ALL men at one point or another. "If you're not a beer-drinking, football-playing, large-muscled, ESPN-watching, six-foot-tall-or-more, square-chinned, handy-around-the-house, buzz-cut, never-cries, drives-a-jacked-up-pickup-truck, pulling-down-six-figures-corporate-executive, seven-inch-penis-having-kind-of-guy then not only will no REAL man ever respect you, but no women will ever like you either."
Makes my balls hurt.
It's one of the reasons I prefer Manga to American comics. In Manga, the strong guys are reasonably sized, or are powerful because they have certain knowledge or skills that they have practiced extensively. In American comics, all the strong guys look like Superman (i.e., a giant triangle on two Slim-Jims with a square jaw and short-cropped hair). I don't want to look like Superman! I HATE Superman! <a href=http://www.Superdickery.com>SUPERMAN IS A DICK!
I'll be in the ANGRY DOME!!!!!
OT: For real? I'm going to laugh when these feminists have something to complain about with actual substance and no one listens because they pull shit like this all the time.
"The first scene opens in a war with Mal and Zoe. Zoe runs around calling Mal ?sir? and taking orders off him. I roll my eyes. Not a good start. "
Really? Lord forbid people stick to the hierarchy of a ship! Women call a man sir? NEVER!!!!
These ultra-lesbian-feminists need to shut the hell up, because they give all of the sane feminists a HUGELY bad wrap...

To be honest, I thought I was reading up on a porn novel with all the sexual references in it.
I was thoroughly dissapointed.
=P
Anyway, serious talk; this woman needs to calm down and find out how the chain of command works. She's compliant because he's the captain, not because he's white and male!
I could go on, but I think it's all already been said.

Her line of thinking scares me. If I treated the girls around me as innocent, easily swayed flowers, and acted so patronizingly, I'd have more than two black eyes to deal with.
Jesus......
I don't even know where to begin. I guess if you are going to venture into any endeavor with the midset that you are going to find mysogony, racism, exploitation, violence, and rape you are going to find it, no matter if it actually exhists or not. People like this just need to be ignored, she's not a feminist.... she's an anti-male. I don't understand how being pro-male is the same as anti-woman. Only the truly stupid will see them as one and the same.

(1) That was going to be my response, that it seems like in their rush for equality they slid too far in the other direction and their new definition of equality is "treat all men like dirt". It makes me wonder if some of them didn't have a bad experience with one man in particular that stained their view and they fled to the safety hyper-feminism to justify it.RebellionXXI said:
(2) It's like the female equivalent that if you're not a size two double d then no man will ever find you attractive. And yeah, Superman's nice and everything but I prefer the tall lanky type...so I guess swimming or track build instead of football.
Ahahahah "put on a bra" that literally made me laugh out loud. Cookies for you.RouxBelle said:
Wow. Just wow.
This chick reads WAY to much into things. I'm expecting her to protest giving birth because:
"The man is forcing the woman to bear his child." WTF? "She called her male captain 'sir'"
NO DUH! That's the way things are! They aren't misogynist at all! You call your superior officer sir or ma'am depending on the general.
Ugh... all this stupidity has got me worked up. I'm gonna go watch the final Apocalypse Lane video now to cool off.

That was one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. I read the whole thing because I was waiting for her to tell me it was just a joke post. But nope she was serious. She probably needs to look at herself and work through her own problems, rather than looking for problems with others that aren't there.
When they said "International Feminist Summit" I imagined a group of women on top of a secret base in a mountain discussing why they hate men and their periods. Was I the only one?
Also, I fell the need to post this video
Take that, feminism!
OT: She's just someone who get's angry if anyone mistreats women in anyway on any form of entertainment. It's ok if it happens to men, just not women. It's the same as knee-jerk reactions to video games like Resident Evil 5 with accusation of racism.

This woman makes me sick.Gestapo Hunter said:
She clearly has paid NO attention to the relationship between mal and zoe. The respect she has for him comes from the hell they went through during the war. Any other man who tried to order her around gets put in his place. Mal has earned her respect, something this idiot blogger knows nothing about.
She's just spreading bile and giving real feminists a bad name.
